The four generals have all entrusted the Duke, and the Duke is a high-ranking title, the highest title that all officials can obtain during their entire lives.
The Duke can go to court to discuss politics, and Lin Yuan should give it to Lin Yuan, but he doesn't actually have much power.
A general without soldiers is a tiger with its teeth pulled out.
Lin Yuan also hadn't seen Yang Zian and the others for a long time. They were all old in a flash of time.
The general was disarmed, and Lin Yuan personally led a hundred officials to welcome them into the imperial city. When they met again, they all felt like they were different.
"Go, help the uncles up." Lin Yuan instructed Lin De and Lin Xuan.
These two children are in their teens, and their work has become much more stable. Lin De no longer said that he wanted to be a female general, and Lin Xuan no longer said that he wanted to be a military division. As they grew older, they all knew that they would face what is.
The sibling relationship is still there, but even Lin Yuan doesn't know when their relationship will disappear.
In the face of absolute power and status, it is impossible for anyone to remain calm.
Lin De and Lin Xuan helped Yang Zian, Li Congrong and Zhu Yuanzhang up. Because Chen Baisong stayed in the capital all the year round, he stood behind Lin Yuan this time. He was the closest person to Lin Yuan.
Yang Zian is getting older, he was born well when he was young, and when he is old, he is only elegant but not decadent.
Li Congrong still looks like when he was young. He has rough skin and thick flesh, and he doesn't even look old. Except for his temples that are a little gray, he is still young just looking at his face and body.
Lin Yuan led them into the palace, and after each reward was followed by a banquet.
The dancing girls poured in. Lin Yuan didn't drink much at the banquet. He was not good at what was in the glass. He occasionally drank a glass of fruit wine. Lin Yuan had never been drunk for so many years, and he only drank a few glasses. Just sit and watch the dance.
These dancers are all tributes from Fanbang. Fanbang needs silk and tea, but they are not willing to give up gold and silver jewelry. They have always paid tribute to Gongmei people. , these dancers still voluntarily stayed in the palace.
According to their words, they have learned to dance all their lives, and they always have to dance for others to see. If they don’t dance, they don’t know what they can do, so Lin Yuan also let them stay in the palace, dancing is theirs Work, don't want to skip and resign.
Anyway, Daming is currently short of women, whether it is to work or marry, you can choose whatever you want.
After the singing and dancing dispersed, and the hall became quiet, Lin Yuan sighed: "I haven't seen each other for many years."
Li Congrong is the most courageous. He hasn't seen each other for so many years, and he doesn't feel that he is estranged from Lin Yuan. He said, "It's been some years! We are all old!"
When these words fell, Li Congrong reacted quickly and said quickly: "We are old, Your Majesty is not old, His Majesty is forever young, still like twenty people!"
Lin Yuan was amused by Li Congrong, what kind of person was Li Congrong before? There is never a twist in my heart, I can say whatever I want to say, and now I have learned how to speak, and I have experienced a lot of things, and people have gradually changed, and no one will remain the same forever.
Looking at Li Congrong and the others now, Lin Yuan felt a little strange.
The friendship is still there, but I always feel a little... Can't remember.
This is probably what it feels like to be at a high place. All the people who accompanied him back then left, only Chen Bosong and Erliang were left, and only Chen Bosong could be considered a confidant.
Lin Yuan said a few more words to them, all of which were commonplace words, someone's child is getting older, and it's time for a kiss.
Or how they have been at the border over the years. Now that the border is not stable, what generals are good.
After talking for more than an hour, Lin Yuan saw that they were tired, so he told them to rest in the palace and return to the palace tomorrow.
Lin Yuan returned to the bedroom, cleaned up and washed, while Chen Bosong watched.
For some reason, Lin Yuan suddenly turned his head, his eyes colliding with Chen Bosong.
After so many years, Lin Yuan could no longer tell Chen Bosong's beauty from ugliness. He smiled at Chen Bosong: "Why don't you talk to them for a while?"
Chen Baisong sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, which was filled with milk tea. He took a sip, thought it was too sweet, and put it down: "What? How are they doing at the border all these years? There are cars all around. It's not very easy to ask in Gulu's words."
Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes."
Chen Baisong did not have any deep friendship with them.
Time and distance have also wiped out the originally meager feelings.
After Chen Baisong had cleaned up, the two of them were lying in bed talking. The life expectancy of the ancients was short. After forty, they were considered old people. Lin Yuan paid great attention to diet and exercise these years. Most emperors died of exhaustion. Yes, you get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs, so you have to go to the harem in your busy schedule.
I heard that there are several people who are lucky enough to visit overnight, which can be called the spirit of Longma.
Lin Yuan felt that compared with those emperors who were overloaded all day, he was already a lot easier.
After he formed his own team, he had fewer things at hand. He made a table, and he was very clear about what to do at what time of day. When he went to court, he also made rules for officials.
Prevent them from arguing and wasting their time.
Lin Yuan looked at the bed tent and said softly, "After I die, you can share the coffin with me, and I won't give you a separate coffin. Don't call me stingy."
Chen Bosong hesitated: "Can it be done?"
In fact, there have been rumors about their affairs in the court and the people for a long time. His Majesty and the general go in and out together, and they often talk at night by candlelight. The most terrible thing is that neither of them are married. Shang Zhezi expressly hinted that His Majesty plays with men, the courtiers do not object, and the generals... It's okay, but concubines still have to have a prince, and only then can someone inherit the throne.
But Lin Yuan turned a blind eye, and after the birth of Lin De and Lin Xuan, the opposition from Chaotang became smaller.
These two children grew up by Lin Yuan's side, the mother also lives in the palace, and the princess is full of longing and respect for her brother, everyone can see that in the hearts of the two children, the uncle is the The most important person, my father, has long been forgotten by them.
When I went to investigate the provincial government, the concubine told him all the things Chen Bosong had revealed to him when he was drunk. After he came back, he was fired and demoted to a commoner. The princess also divorced him, but Lin Yuan granted him permission. You can visit the palace once every ten days to see the children.
The concubine was deeply ashamed, and took his family back to his hometown. Now he has opened a school in his hometown, but he has done a good job. The students he teaches have very good grades.
Lin Yuan regrets it a little. Maybe he shouldn't have entrusted the concubine with a heavy responsibility in the first place. The concubine is actually not bad. His theoretical knowledge is very good, but there are problems with emotional intelligence and behavior patterns. Can make some achievements.
Just regret is useless.
Guo'er didn't matter, she lived well in the palace and had a lover, but she didn't want to get married, and Lin Yuan didn't force it.
Chen Baisong asked nervously, "Really?"
Chen Baisong believed in ghosts and gods. He also believed that if they were buried together, they would be husband and wife, and they could continue to live in the next life. Moreover, Lin Yuan was the emperor, and ghosts and gods always wanted to give the emperor face. Maybe they could continue to be together in the next life.
Lin Yuan nodded: "I will arrange it, no matter who you or I leave first, we can be buried together."
Lin Yuan shook Chen Bosong's hand.
Chen Bosong was relieved, he closed his eyes and said softly, "Master, don't be an emperor in your next life."
Lin Yuan said softly, "Huh?"
Chen Bosong: "It's too tiring. For the sake of the world and the people, you have never thought of yourself."
Lin Yuan squeezed Chen Bosong's palm: "Who said I didn't care about myself? If you don't care about yourself, you won't lie beside me. It's time for the queen to lie beside me."
In the early years, when Chen Baisong heard the word "Queen", he would still be nervous and angry because of fear, but not now, he asked, "What about Lin De and Lin Xuan..."
Lin Yuan: "After I die, someone will read my will."
Chen Bosong: "Have you already chosen?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "I've chosen."
Lin De and Lin Xuan are two brothers and sisters with completely different personalities, but they are not bad boys and both have smart heads.
Over the years, Lin Yuan saw how they got a foothold in the court, how to assemble their own team, and how to get the support of ministers.
"Who to choose?" Chen Bosong asked.
Lin Yuan said, "Lin De."
Chen Bosong frowned: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's not difficult, she can even take Yang Shaowei."
Yang Shaowei is Song Shizhao's only disciple, and he is very skater.
Chen Baisong wondered: "Why can't Lin Xuan? I think he has a lot of support."
Lin Yuan sighed and said, "Lin Xuan is a man. He was born to be more easily supported than Lin De, but even so, the two of them are only five or five in the court."
"He has to be stronger than Linde, and a lot stronger. If Linde doesn't have a single supporter, he will win."
Lin Yuan's face was cold, but his eyes did not fluctuate: "He is the same as Linde, which means he is weaker than Linde."
Lin De is a girl. The help she can get in the court is extremely small. Lin Yuan has not helped her secretly in these years, but Lin Xuan is different. , he failed to suppress Linde.
Lin Yuan: "Mind and ability are innate."
Chen Baisong frowned: "What if Lin De can't keep the throne?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "That's because she's incompetent. I'll be in the coffin by then, but I don't have time to give her justice."
"I'll give her a chance, but as for the outcome, it's not me who has the final say." Lin Yuan pinched Chen Bosong's chin, "Go to sleep, you will have to go to bed early tomorrow."
Chen Bosong nodded, he fell asleep quickly, and soon started snoring.
The snoring was not loud, and now Lin Yuan could only fall asleep listening to Chen Bosong's snoring.
When Chen Baisong fell asleep, he hugged Lin Yuan's waist, and he murmured, "I want to sleep in a coffin."
Lin Yuan coaxed softly: "Okay, take a nap."
Chen Bosong was satisfied and fell asleep with Lin Yuan in his arms.
